iPhone 3G Reviews

At least one individual who purchased an iPhone 3G is less than impressed with the new device. So have other iphone 3g reviews;

A lawsuit has been filed against the company by Alabama resident Jessica Alena Smith claiming that the iPhone's 3G performance and reliability has not measured up to what the company claimed in its marketing campaign.

The lawsuit alleges that despite aggressive marketing that the 3G iPhone is "twice as fast for half the price," the much-hyped smartphone is actually much slower than advertised and prone to dropping calls.

"Apple sold these devices on the promise that they were twice as fast as the pre-existing phones and that they would function suitably, or properly, on the 3G network. But, thus far, Apple and the phone have failed to deliver on this promise," Jonathan Kudulis, an attorney with Birmingham, Ala.-based Trimmier Law Firm, told ABCNEWS.com.

Trimmier is the firm representing the Ala.-based plaintiff, Jessica Alena Smith.

Unless Ms. Smith lives in or near Montgomery or Birmingham, Alabama, this should not have come as a surprise to her. If you take a look at AT&T's 3G coverage (3G coverage area pictured in blue above), it is pretty limited in the state of Alabama.

What is more interesting in the article, is all the complaints about dropped calls with the new phone. I know a number of people in Seattle that have purchased it and haven't heard that as a problem. Stay tuned...
